This week 24-7 Prayer International are inviting the global church to pray in one-hour slots, wherever they are, for the refugee crisis. The prayer week is running from midday Monday 7 until midday Monday 14 September. Readers of Prayer Alert are invited to join this initiative. Praying into such an enormous situation can feel overwhelming, but we can’t let that silence our prayers. Instead we can trust the promise of Ps 34:17 that God hears and answers prayer. According to Lev.19:34, pray that our reaction to refugees will always be love and not fear and that we will always love the one in front of us; regardless of background or status. Pray according to Ps. 11:28 for God’s rule over the nations in war and crisis, for problems to be solved with major changes in countries of origin - Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan. Pray according to Mic.6:8 for the hard-pressed agencies working on the borders of land and sea. For helpful resources click the ‘more’ link.
